Convict Tang

The silver and black Convict Tang is a wonderful addition to both reef tanks as well as a fish-only tank. A much more passive "surgeonfish," the Convict Tang should not have other tangs as its tankmates as they will harass and pester it. While the Convict Tang does have the scalpel-like peduncle spine just like other species of Tangs, it is much smaller and less pronounced in the Convict Tang. As with other Tangs, provide large amounts of swimming room.

Provide a variety of foods designed for herbivores. This includes frozen and flake foods, and especially dried seaweed and algae sheets. Feed at least 3 times a week.
